2020 Firetree Chardonnay

Steep 30- to 50-degree slopes of sandstone and shale with the San Pablo Bay’s cooling influence, make our Firetree vineyard a classic site for Chardonnay, and showcases Carneros at its best. 

A full-bodied, complex Chardonnay.
Floral, stone fruit, citrus, and spice aromas and flavors entice the palate. Balanced acidity and a creamy mouthfeel are followed by a clean, minerally finish.
